Image out of my head. We live in an age where we have collectively decided kkk and black face are unacceptable. You did that as a young medical student that you should not be fit to be governor of any state. Howie why was there no Media Coverage when he backed a lateterm abortion with the cable and Media Outlets totally ignoring it. The president pounces on a war of words with his own intel chiefs. President trump and his own intelligence agencies dont seem to be on the same planet. We need to stop saying donald trump is taking a different position from them and start saying the truth. Donald trump is adopting Vladimir Putins position. There is plenty of room for scepticism when it comes to the Intelligence Community and the sourcing these outlets are using to push a certain agenda when it comes to foreign policy. Howie but the president blames the controversy on fake news. Liberal pundits and a tidal wave of journalists slamming Howard Schultz. Tom brokaw facing a backlash for his onair comments about hispanics. He apologizes but the medias p. C. Police are piling on. Im howard kurtz and this is mediabuzz. The pundits were cautious at first when Big League Politics published a yearbook photo showing men in black face and a kkk outfit. The Virginia Governor apologized but much of virginias political establishment urged him to quit. Northam vowed not to resign insisting while he had not been in the black face photo as a medical student, there was another time he did just that. I had the shoes, i had a glove and i used a little bit of shoe polish to put on my cheeks. I always liked Michael Jackson. I actually won the contest because i learned how to do the moon walk. Howie joining us, emily jashinsky, and capri cafaro. And kristina partsinevelos. Christina, northam took plenty of questions. Is there a media drum beat saying its time for him to go . Its the first time you have all Media Outlets growing on something. Every single newscast this morning led with this story. There is an agreement he should step down. The fact that he reversed his story shows a lack of trust. If you want to come out and apologize for it because race is such an important issue, lets bring to the forefront and discuss it. You have all outlets sensely agreeing on this. Howie the governor is in a position of saying i didnt pose in black face. But i did as Michael Jackson. Do you want to see my moon walk . There is a conversation, i dont think its a perfect parallel with what we went threw with brett kavanaugh. Totally different thing. I think he should resign. I dont think its acceptable. But at the same time ill say if your wife has to stop you from moon walking in the middle of an apology press conference, it did not go well. The fact that he was talking about putting shoe polish under his cheeks, it was unbelievable. Howie people are saying it was 35 years ago. He doesnt have a record of racism in office. But all the 2020 campaigns, they say he should resign. In virginia, you are only one term. If he tries to ride it out, he only has two years left on his term. This is an issue thats important to democrats going into 2020 where rains diversity is playing a large part in their platform. So democrats will come out saying we want him to resign, even though its a democrat offending for lack of a better term. This is less about the Media Coverage and more about the fact this is so egregious democrats and republicans are agreeing. Often you have liberal pundits defending a democrat. As you pointed out, even President Trump going on twitter says how did the media not discover this when he ran for governor in 2017. And why did it get leaked now . I dont think we should focus too much on that. We should be focused on wouldnt we be having a different conversation now. Saying that was somebody from the past who is no longer like that. We forgive charlottesville, even President Trump during the cam rain he says my africanamericans to a supporter in the crowd. It happened before. Race has come up. But do we forgive as a society. He lied and wasnt trustworthy. Thats the conversation we should be having. Howie this was broken by a former breitbart journalist. Somebody wanted to retaliate against Ralph Northam for the abortion comments. He was doing a radio interview talking about a bill that he supported that would lift restrictions on lateterm abortions in virginia. And he came out and said this. Lets take a look. If a mother is in labor i can tell you what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable and resuscitated if thats what the mother and family desired. Then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. Howie the first two days, nothing on nbc, abc, msnbc and one story on the cbs evening news. This is a case study that should be held up in Journalism School as how not to handle an issue. What happens so often is the media waits until conservatives reacts, then writes stories about conservatives seizing and pouncing on extreme democrat positions. That was completely inappropriate. It was really bad in this particular case. This should be studies by journalism students. Howie look at the way the lead was. It wasnt that Ralph Northam was considering this. Virginias governor responded on a bill to the relift restrictions on lateterm abortions. As a legislator. I agreed that its not a place for an abortion debate. This ways happens when you have complex laws happening at the state law or federal level. There is no question in my mind that there is a significant difference in the conservativeleaning media and Mainstream Media are covering this issue. Whether they talk about it as infanticide on the right or fake news and try to downplay it on the left. We are getting past the facts and core aspects of the bill. Howie New York Times headline, republicans seize on lateterm abortion as a 2020 issue. Washington post, ill acknowledging republican missteps they double down to pay the Ralph Northam and democrats as radicals hop favor infanticide. This will be a partisan issue no matter what. You just listed immediate lanes. You mentioned the word Mainstream Media. More and more we have to stop using that term. We are on media. There are a lot of people who watch fox. But regarding just the headlines you are mentioning right now. When it comes to abortion you will have democrats who wont want to bring it up because its too sensitive. You have republicans calling the democrats baby killers. And the democrats saying you are painting people pass antifeminists, essentially antifeminists. No matter what you will get the sound bite. Howie whether you are prolife or prochoice, a lot of people who support abortion rights would be uncomfortable with third trimester abortions. It was a 2minute clip that went viral. It wasnt edited at all. The clip that went viral was 2 minutes long. It was not edited. Northam defended his position the next day. The content of the policy is what was covered, not the reaction from left to right. When they are not coupled with serious stories on the policies in question is the problem. Howie the politics often dominates. There are only 15 who support abortion at any time during pregnancy. Why are the liberal pundits out to stop starbucks Howard Schultz from running as an independent . Ah, the old crew remember when we all used to go to the cafeteria and just chow down midday . You mean, like, lunch . Come on. Voted most likely to help people save 668 when they switch. At this school . Didnt you get caught in the laminating machine . Ha. [ sighs ] box, have a great summer. Danielle. Ooh. Danielle, control yourself. Id like to slow it down here with a special discount for a special girl. Danielle, this ones for you. With a special discount for a special girl. Unstopand its strengthenedting place, the by xfi pods,gateway. Which plug in to extend the wifi even farther, past anything that stands in its way. Well almost anything. Leave no room behind with xfi pods. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Click or visit a retail store today. Howie with a flood of airlines about President Trumps chief intel chiefs disagreeing with his stance. The intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive with it comes to the dangers of iran. Perhaps they should go back to school. When it was over trump blamed it on the media. It was taken out of context. I suggest that you call them. They said it was fake news. Howie the testimony was widely covered. Does he have a case . When he says mix quoted he doesnt have a case with. Maybe misinterpreted, i dont know. Maybe there is room between trumps position and what Joe Scarborough was talking about. That trump is wildly out of line with them. I think was more frustrated with the narrative the media created after he met with gina haspel and the Intelligence Community. Howie narrative doesnt equal fake news. These arent shadowy sources. There were cameras, there were spotlights, we have video and the transcripts. Right. So it makes it difficult for the president to blame the media. We have dialogue between the president and the chairman of the federal reserve, constantly putting the blame there if the market is going down. If you are in a power of leadership position you need to take control, not control, take the blame every once in a while when things dont go your way or when you have leaders in your organization who say north korea and isis could still be a threat, and work together. Howie coats said north korea is likely to retain all of its nuclear weapons. Howie let me play a sound bite having to do i want to get into the tribal equality of these debates. One of the president s strongest media supporters is lou dobbs. He said this after dan coats testified on the hill. What the hell is wrong with the dni . He has no political judgment. He has no sense of proportion. What in the hell is he thinking about . Howie wasnt dan coats doing his job with an honest assessment. Its not for the dn toirks have a political instinct in this. Lets remember this is not the first time President Trump and his administration have publicly disagreed. This isnt the first and probably wont be the last. But what strikes me is because the coverage was so on the record, on tape, transcripts, President Trump thinks he can say fake news, the concept of fake news has taken such hold in our debate that you can do that in juxtaposition to physically being on record is amazing to me. Howie the president made this point in the super bowl. Intelligence chiefs are not always right. But what fueled this particular media fire was the president s own tweet, passive, naive about people he appointed. Its reminiscent to some degree. Fighting the fbi, saying its doing a lousy job. Apparently differing views. He named them. Hes not taking responsibility. Lets put the blame on the media. Thats the most of concerning part. The fake news,ed the media is always wrong. We need journalists across the board to do the digging and hold people accountable. I was covering midterm elections in florida. I went to a ron desantis rally. Rudy giuliani took the stage, booed the media, everybody turned in such venom. The camera guy got spat on. The fake news concept taking hold so much, its dangerous to the institution of journalists. And the fact that the American Public totally lost trust. It was not a good month for the press. There are fair and legitimate concerns. Coming from buzzfeed. Howie its been a lousy month for the press and it can be totally negative toward this president more than i have seen. Not supporting the booing and viciousness. But you had a polite to some degree between the president and Senate RepublicanMitch Mcconnell supporting an amendment that passed the senate expressing disapproval of the quick withdrawal from syria and afghanistan. Its purely symbolic but i dont think its fake news to report on how this looks after the shutdown. Thats a split i think the president s reporters are glad would open up. Howie all right, emily jashinsky, capri cafaro and kristina partsinevelos. Tom brokaw says hes sorry for his comments. Is the media going too far. The sniping over two new books targeting trump world. The fact is, americans move more than anyone else in the world. On average, well live in eleven homes. And every time we move, things change. Apartments become houses, cars become mini vans. As we upgrade and downsize, an allstate agent will do the same for our protection. Now that you know the truth, are you in good hands . My teemotionally, socially. Very sore spot for me, if i wouldve known that i was gonna be 50 times happier. I wouldve gone into aspen dental much sooner. It was a very life changing experience. And it felt like i was me again. Thats when i realized i hadnt been for three years. At aspen dental were all about yes. Like yes to flexible hours and payment options. Yes to free exam and xrays for new patients without insurance. And yes whenever youre ready to get started, we are too. Call 1800aspendental today. t easy. 12 hours . 20 dogs . Wheres your belly rubs . After a day of chasing dogs you shouldnt have to chase down payments. vo send invoices and accept payments to get paid twice as fast. danny its time to get yours vo quickbooks. Backing you. And back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. Then i found aleve pm. The only one to combine a safe sleep aid, plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. Im back. Aleve pm for a better am. Howie if you have a book out and its about donald trump, Chris Christies book is largely sympathetic to trump but he blames jared kushner. He says kushner bears a grudge because he once prosecuted kushners father. It was one of the most of disgusting crimes i prosecuted as a district attorney. Howie steve bannon said he hated working in the white house but he was doing the lords work. In the beginning he had a group of people like steve bannon and like omarosa. What the hell was somebody like omorosa doing in the white house. Howie the president not pleased about the people writing about him. Sit back and look around and say, gee, im in the white house and they are not. Then former communications aid. We are creating what amounts to an enemys list on people i felt were disrule to them. Howie he has tonight for Kellyanne Conway painting her as a big leaker. I think publicly yes, there is a lot of evidence she is not. You say unkind things about Kellyanne Conway that has gotten a lot of press, so you are willing to burn some bridges on your way out. I didnt look at it that way. I never heard her denigrate the president even off the record. Potus punched back. Cliff sims wrote another made up book. He pretended to be an insider when he was nothing more than a gopher. Gofer. First, the liberal media declaring war on Howard Schultz for pondering a white house run. Howie Howard Schultz may have built a fabulously successful business with starbucks, but hes hardly a household name yet. Imagine a billionaire as president . Hes getting trashed in the more liberal precincts with the press. Why not have that debate in the Democratic Party of which you were a member. I would have to be disingenuous to be a democrat. I think his entrance into the political stage has been catastrophically misjudges. These guys are billionaires and they think they can do everything. One thing he can do is hand the election to trump. More Howard Schultz, they got in their way so they have to crush him. Howie Howard Schultz is testing the water for a run. What do you make of all these liberal commentators saying how dare you run . In any other context i think they would be receptive to Howard Schultz running. Hes socially liberal, fiscally conservative. We are told thats representative of where the centrist thought process of this country ought to exist. In this year this is a situation in which the left which is overrepresented in our media nationally, feels they have the right to every empty donald trump vote. They believe he could take away 3 to 5 of the antidonald trump vote. Thats what makes him inconvenient. I think its very interesting. I dont just say that as a person who was a starbucks barista. That was my first job. I think thats ridiculous. The guy i think his positioning is really out of touch with the kind of person who could actually beat donald trump. Christian anderson has a great piece on the real way to go after donald trump is someone who is a populist when it comes to Economic Policy and traditionalist when it comes to socialist policy. Thats why i think hell have a problem being a significant candidate in the end. Howie Kamala Harris did a cnn town hall and came out for medicare for all. And jake tapper pressed her on how it would work. She said we dont need people going through insurance companies, lets eliminate that. Lets just goat rid of peoples 150 million private insurance. Once you start running as a president ial candidate, a lot of these slogans and ideas thrown out as a member of the u. S. Senate are going to be judged under new light. How feasible they actually are. In the case of medicare for all. We have seen time and again multiple states going down the road of a Single Payer Program and they can never make the math work. I think this is one of the this well see develop over the course of this campaign. A lot of people are going to roll out these idea and have a new level of evaluation they are going to live up to. Howie we talked earlier in the show about Virginia GovernorRalph Northam calling for people to resign over the black face kkk photo. One your writers doesnt agree. People are saying, its offensive and it was 35 years ago. Has this become a media mob . It has to a certain extent. I think its funny this media mob was driven up by this old photo as opposed to the governors terrible comment earlier this week endorsing letting a baby die after its born which in my perspective is the position the elites in the Democrat Party and planned pawrpthood which out of step with the american people. Howie why did the main real media and News Organization completely ignore it rather than having a healthy debate about lateterm abortion legislation. You and i both know the media is full of people who are extreme on the issue of abortion. They dont like the messy conversation when you look at this in a serious way. The media dismissed the gosnell tory as a local crime story. Conservatives are pouncing on the remarks of people in various positions that could be depicted as extreme when the positions they hold are out of step with what the vast majority of americans want. The polls consistently say mayor cans want restrictions on lateterm abortions. When you look at what vafl d t Ralph Northam has gone through, itle a bold move to distract from your comments own infanticide. Howie what do you make of the media calls for him to resign and that long rather by door news conferences. I have seen a lot of bizarre news conferences. But if i was a major donor to the Democratic Party in virginia, i would be looking at Ralph Northam the same way i look at maduro. Give him a parachute to get out of that office. What he has con here as embarrassing as it is, its not necessarily an impeachable offense. But hell be a drag on virginia democrats going towards. They have a shot winning that legislature. They need to get him out of there. Howie great to have you back. With nbc distancing themselves from tom brokaw. He says they got it wrong. I thought i married an italian. Did the ancestrydna to find out im only 16 italian. So i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors was eastern european. This is my ancestor who i didnt know about. Touch shows how we really feel. But does psoriasis ever get in the way . Embrace the chance of 100 clear skin with taltz, the first and only treatment of its kind offering people with moderate to severe psoriasis a chance at 100 clear skin. With taltz, up to 90 of people quickly saw a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. Dont use if youre allergic to taltz. Before starting, you should be checked for tuberculosis. Taltz may increase risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, symptoms, or received a vaccine or plan to. Inflammatory bowel disease can happen with taltz, including worsening of symptoms. Serious allergic reactions can occur. Ready for a chance at 100 clear skin . Ask your doctor about taltz. Howie the firestorm overall brokaws comments was so intense nbc had little choice but to cover it. The criticism was widespread and almost media. Howie he was talking about culture in american when said this about the hispanic community. I dont know whether i want brown grandbabies. I also happen to believe hispanics should work heard at assimilation. They ought to not just be codified in their communities but make sure all their kids are going to speak english. Howie he quickly put out an apology but his network seemed to distance themselves from the former anchor. A Spokesman Says toms comments were inaccurate and inappropriate and we are glad he apologized. Howie joining me, cathy areu. Are you offended by tom brokaw saying hispanics should work harder at assimilation and their kids should speak good english. This was kind of overlooked. Offended as a journalist. Because it wasnt accurate. It wasnt true. This is an oped he was giving. He was speaking as if he was a journalist who had done some research. And its purely his opinion and hes incorrect. My parents are i aments and if being a latina on television isnt assimilation, i dont know what is. Howie he says he covered hispanics in society going back to cesar chavez. Why is it so radioactive going back to 1900. Latinos are like every other immigrant group. They assimilate as quickly as any other immigrant group in our nation. I taught esl to adults and students. There is nobody who wants to learn english more than hispanics in this country. What he was saying is completely inaccurate. I dont think he has taught english as a second language. I dont think he has seen people work in the field then come dirty to a class at night. Howie there have been cutbacks in School English languages a second language. There is a p. C. Police aspect to this. People are saying tom brokaw is racist. There is nothing in his career that supports that. They were inaccurate they were insensitive and sounded racist. I think journalism 101. You have to back that up. You have no statistics. If you find them, he was completely wrong as a journalist when it came to this topic. Howie let me move on to the weeks big story which is Ralph Northam, many people on your side saying northam has to resign. Where do you and on this . Well, i think we have to look at kavanaugh. Its like we have short memories. Everyone said. Racism is wrong, black face is wrong. If its over 30 years ago, why are we crucifying him at the same time we are not crucifying kavanaugh. Howie he was a 25yearold medical student what hes now changing the story and admitting to the Michael Jackson black face. Thats one of the reasons hes getting pounded. But hes apologizing. Trump has made different comments in the past about certain groups. And we forgive him because hes doing great things for the country. The Washington Post pointed out if we are going to criticize the governor of virginia we need to look at the white house as well. Howie people do change over time and 35 years ago, people arent giving Governor Northam the benefit of the doubt. President trump gave a super bowl interview. Wouldnt it be great to have epix . This is it guys. You ready . Absolutely. Woooo youd laugh. Oh, ow. [ chuckles ] youd cry. Look, look, look, look, look, look, look,. Maybe even laugh while crying. What the fertilizer . Sounds pretty great, right . Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight just say, add epix and it can all be yours. Its easy to upgrade. And you dont want to miss out on everything epix.

Howie has the media cast a shadow over todays showdown between the new England Patriots and l. A. Rams . Joining us now, brit mchenry, the host of unpc on fox nation. Is it almost like an asterisk over this game . I think so. People points out there was a facemask penalty that was not called. But roger goodell, the commissioner of the league, says we messed that one up its harder to football fans to digest that. Howie President Trump was highly critical of the league and the anthem protest. He said hes not taking credit. But the league bounced back, the protests fade. Has the nfl learned a lesson from that controversy . I would like to say yes. But after listening to the commissioner other day about the super bowl, i tend to say yes. I always said there were many more aspects of that, including the offensive comments to family members and friends made about certain owners. They are asking him about that. And i think the stubbornness to say we might look at instant replay. But everything we are doing is the right course really rubs a lot of fans the wrong way. Howie we are back to the old media narrative, can tom brady, 41 years old, its no see crept the media is not fans of tom brady. They need to get used to it. Howie what is it about brady and the patriots that brings out that resentment among sports jocks . Lets face it. Because they are good. I grew up with Miami Dolphins fans. Its because they are so good. We constantly see them. New england has such a diehard fan base. Hes the owner of the team, tom brady is friendly with the president. I found it funny this week that the national headlines, cardi bee. Howie they will work cardi b into the program. Still to come, President Trump sits down with the New York Times and rips the New York Times. S be honest. Every Insurance Company tells you they can save you money. Save up to 10 when you bundle with esurance. Including me, esurance spokesperson dennis quaid. Hes a pretty good spokesperson. Ehhh. So when i say, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved an average of 412, you probably wont believe me. Hey, actor lady whose scene was cut. Hi. But you can believe this esurance employee, nancy abraham. Seriously, send her an email and ask her yourself. No emails. No emails. When insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. At booking. Com, we cant guarantee youll good at that water jet thingy. But we can guarantee the best price on this hotel. Or any accommodation, from homes to yurts. Booking. Com booking. Yeah howie the president sat down with the New York Times and complained that the paper treats me so unbelievably terribly. The publisher whose last private conversation grew into a public spat for an onrecord interview he attended with two reporters. He said trumps rhetoric is endangering journalists worldwide. They are saying your rhetoric is creating a climate in which dictators and tyrants a able to employ your words in a suppressions of a free press. I think its very bad for a country when the news is not accurately portrayed. I really do. Howie he said he was a victim of negative coverage, like nobody has ever had before. I became president of the united states. I am sort of entitled to a great story. Just one, from my newspaper. Howie thats why the president cares about the New York Times. Hes from queens and he wants that recognition from the New York Times. Sarah sanders, the press secretary, gave an interview and says she sees a bunch of angry faces, but she wasnt talking about the entire White House Press corps. Economic me out at mediabuzz foxnews. Com. We are back next sunday after the game with the latest buzz. Arthel President Trump focusing on the border wall ahead of tuesdays state of the union address. He says negotiations that do not include funding the bordered wall are a waste of time. Eric super bowl sunday today. Im eric shawn. President trump as you know is threatening to use his executive authority of the presidency to go around congress and possibly have an impose a national emergency. This as nancy pelosi refuses to budge on funding for the wall
